ski
box jump 18"
KBS 36#
wall sit

THEN:
1min all-out on AirFit. I got 34.8cal.

one of the things Bobby Maximus hammered on today was recovery. i think the stress of Alpine busy season has been really getting to me, and i've been neglecting diligent recovery practices. so trying to log that stuff.

2x 1.4mi recovery walk to/from dinner.

did a little de-brief of Cohutta w Matt, basically going over why i think things went so poorly for me:
#1 no actual long mtb training rides - just riding within races (Sea2Sea, Breakdown)
#2 power/weight ratio too low to do well on steep climbs of TN (this is a euphemism for...i need to lose weight!!)
#3 lots of residual life stress since i'm still adjusting to life at Alpine.

all of those things can be fixed. they are not EZ but can be done. thankfully i have a lot of people in my corner.

drove to work w the bike. kitted up afterwards and rode out, stopping to check on the SWAP tent break-down on my way. somehow i picked up a security tag pin in my tire so it went flat. drove home. not sad.
